The Government gives money to parents as subsidies to Parents. These are not small sums, either; ‘costs to the taxpayer of a staggering $10 billion a year in parent subsidies’.

These subsidies are given to parents for the specific purpose of paying for child care at a Child Care Centre. The payments are not ‘untied’ money. The money is paid on condition it is passed to a Child Care Centre.

So, in one way, the legalistic Public Service way, the Child Care Centre, and its owners are not receiving money from the Government.

In another way, in the logical world of real people and real events and real reality, that money is Government money being paid to the Child Care Centres!

Now we come back to the question of Peter Craig Dutton’s eligibility to stand for election for the Division of Dickson under Section 44 (v). Technically and probably legally it would seem that he is. It would be interesting to see the outcome of High Court challenge.

Morally and ethically, he is not.

But how long has it been since moral or ethics played a part in Dutton’s life?

Mr Fifield told ABC Radio Melbourne this morning the Federal Government’s decision to fund the sports broadcaster for the coverage followed usual practice.

So we, the taxpayers of Australia must accept that our Federal Budget, where billions of our taxpayer dollars are allocated and spent, are written up on the back of dinner napkins or from a half remembered phone calls. This is the superb fiscal management which the Liberal Party has told us they provide.

The obvious conclusion from this ‘funding’ debacle is that Fifield has stolen $30 Million of Australian taxpayer’s money and handed it, through Fox Sports, to Rupert Murdoch.

Refusing to release any paperwork or other evidence reveals the truth of this allegation.

Let me make it obvious!

Mitch Fifield is a thief and has stolen taxpayer’s money!

And Mitch, if you happen to have this libellous allegation brought to your attention and decide to sue the author, please do not hesitate.

Like this:

The Liberal Party is in the process of eating itself. Preparing for yet another Prime Ministerial Assassination.

Unable to any longer fit inside the broad church which it has always claimed to be. All its members are fighting for the few remaining pews.

It matters little who becomes or remains Prime Minister during the next few weeks. There is little chance of this Parliament lasting to the end of the year. With Section 44 in play we could see a loss of that one seat majority in the HoR. Further revelations are expected on a daily basis and the High Court is in for a busy time.

The only way they will win an election this year, or next year will be to have the full weight of the Murdoch Machine behind them. Sadly for the Coalition, there are splits within that machine as well. There are those money-worshippers who will follow Turnbull to the Caymans at every opportunity and there are those bigoted Nazis who desperately want the books burnt and the Duttonmeister to be in charge.

So the media (art) is imitating the Liberal Party (life). Sorry to have to explain a literary allusion but with the Naplan results just out very few in our society would understand it without a cheat-sheet.

To mix legendary allusions, the Coalition is as extinct as the Norwegian Blue of Monty Python fame.

Except that the worms escaping from its body are still eating away at what is left of our society.
